After leaving Jiang Quan's residence, Li Yanqing took a few people to a nearby snack bar. Everyone ordered a table of food, and they all lowered their heads and ate without saying a word. Li Yanqing was drinking mutton soup while considering the next action.

He probably already knew the whole story of this matter and understood the key point of this matter. Although Tong Guan framed Zhong Lin for his own selfishness, it is unforgivable who is the person who stabbed the knife in the back, this is another culprit in this case.

The yamen runners privately speculated that it was Wang Ding, the prefect of Kaifeng, and Li Yanqing also believed that the speculations of insiders were actually more accurate. It is said that Wang Ding was from Liang Shicheng. If so, then Liang Shicheng would be the real murderer who killed Zhong Lin, which is also in line with Liang Shicheng's insidious character.

But such things cannot be judged by speculation, he must obtain definite evidence.

At night, Li Yanqing came to the Cao family alone. As soon as he arrived at the door, he met Cao Sheng coming out of the mansion.

"Yanqing!" Cao Sheng was shocked, "You...why are you here?"

"I went to Beijing to do something, is my grandfather here?"

"He has already gone to bed. If you have anything to do, I'll see if I can help you."

Cao Sheng is now the son-in-law of the current dynasty, and maybe he can really help him. Li Yanqing nodded and followed Cao Sheng to a teahouse diagonally opposite.

The two asked for a elegant room to sit down, and a tea prostitute served them tea. Cao Sheng waved her to retreat, and then asked: "Are you coming to Beijing for the cancellation of the triumphal ceremony?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether the ceremony is necessary or not. It's because Zhong Shuai's son was killed. I'll investigate it."

Cao Sheng was shocked, "Who is so bold to kill Zhong Shidao's son?"

Li Yanqing briefly said the matter of Zhong Lin, and Cao Sheng sneered, "Don't go to find your grandfather. I know Wang Ding's background very well. He is indeed Liang Shicheng's confidant, and he is the number one confidant. If this happened in Kaifeng Prefecture, he cannot not report to Liang Shicheng."

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "Is it possible that it was done by others, such as Gao Qiu, Cai Jing or Wang Fu?"

Cao Sheng has been the son-in-law of the prince-in-law for two years and is appointed as the fourth-rank attendant of the Fuwenge. He knows all kinds of relationships with the court, which is also one of the basic skills of becoming an official in the court. Li Yanqing has not been in the court for a long time, and he still lacks in this regard.

Although Li Yanqing's question seems naive, he is the grandson-in-law of the old man of the Cao family. Cao Sheng felt that he needed to give him some advice, so he smiled and said, "In the beginning of the Fan Dang case, Liang Shicheng's condition to support Wang Fu was to support Kaifeng Prefecture. After Wang Ding became the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, Wang Fu's power completely withdrew from Kaifeng Prefecture. As for Gao Qiu, his one-acre and three-point land were in the imperial guards, and he could not get enough Kaifeng Prefecture. If you still doubt Cai Jing, then it would be even more necessary."

"Why?" Li Yanqing asked in confusion.

Cao Sheng Youyou took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Do you know why Cai Jing was able to serve as prime minister for the fourth time?"

Li Yanqing shook his head. He really didn't know. Although he had subscribed to the tabloids at that time, he knew about Cai Jing's comeback, and the tabloids did not mention the reason for his comeback, so he didn't know much about Cai Jing's comeback.

Cao Sheng pretended to be mysterious and looked at both sides, lowered his voice and said, "It was because of the first Northern Expedition that the government wanted to mention the second Northern Expedition, but there were too many oppositions, so the government had to re-activate Caijing Town. Therefore, Cai Jing got another nickname behind it, called Caiyu, a fish for cooking."

Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing, but he still didn't understand a little, and asked with a smile: "Why is it called Cai Yu?"

"This is a homonym, and it actually means Cai Yun, the spittoon's gull."

Li Yanqing suddenly laughed, but as soon as he finished laughing, he suddenly realized, "Uncle Xiaoliu means that Cai Jing is just taking it out for the government to temporarily take it out."

"You are right. My princess also told me in person. We all know that how can Cai Jing not know? If he wants to do it for a few more years, he cannot make any mistakes and be held by the official. So I am sure that the knife behind Tong Guan was definitely not what Cai Jing did. Even if he has the ability, he would not do it. It is not worth it."

Li Yanqing nodded silently. After Cao Sheng's analysis, he knew that it was only Liang Shicheng who did it. As for the evidence, he didn't want to go find it. Even the prison doctor "experienced himself". Where can there be any evidence?

Cao Sheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Go home with me! Yunniang misses you very much. I know you should not show up in the capital now, but it should not be a big problem to meet your wife."

Li Yanqing was startled, "My wife is in Cao's Mansion?"

"What do you think? Her mother missed her daughter, so she brought her. She just came back yesterday."

Thinking that his wife was less than a hundred steps away from him, Li Yanqing suddenly felt warm. Anyway, he told Master Zhong that he would go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and it would not be too late to go back tomorrow morning.

Cao Yun did not expect her husband to come back at this time, but she was steady and introverted. When her parents were beside her, she just looked at her husband affectionately and did not show too much passion. It was not until the couple entered the room at night that Cao Yun suddenly hugged her husband's waist and leaned on his chest and started crying.

Li Yanqing gently stroked his wife's hair and smiled, "I'm almost a mother, and I'm still as wronged as a young lady."

Cao Yun's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly grabbed her husband's hand and touched her stomach, "Look at the boy, he knows you're back and is kicking my stomach!"

Li Yanqing squatted down, pulled up his wife's little clothes, put his ears on his wife's warm and fair belly, and listened quietly to the movement inside. For a moment, a smile appeared on his face.

Cao Yun gently stroked her husband's thick neck. At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

But at this moment, the door was knocked open with a 'bang!', and a small figure ran in, "Big Shu Niang!"

The person who rushed in was Cao Jiaojiao, and Cao Yun's close maid was followed behind her. She couldn't hold Jiaojiao away, looking unhappy.

"What are you doing?" Cao Jiaojiao covered her mouth suddenly and widened her eyes.

Cao Yun's face turned red and quickly put down his clothes. She glared at her sister dissatisfiedly, "What are you, a damn girl?"

"Oh! Sorry."

Cao Jiaojiao lowered her head embarrassedly. She already understood that her brother-in-law was listening to the little guy's movement! She also posted it on Dashu Niang's belly last night.

Li Yanqing stood up and smiled and said, "Jiaojiao, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Li Yanqing has never seen Cao Jiaojiao since she got married. It has been two years since she was married. Apart from growing taller, Li Yanqing feels that Cao Jiaojiao has not grown up much? It is still the former one who was so popular and naughty.

He calculated it in his heart and couldn't help but smile. Cao Jiaojiao was only eight years old. How old can a second-grade girl in elementary school be expected to grow?

Cao Jiaojiao suddenly heard that her brother-in-law was coming because she had not seen Li Yanqing for two years. She was excited and rushed in regardless of the matter. However, she found that her brother-in-law was listening to the fetal sound. She blushed and didn't know what to say. She suddenly turned around and almost hit the close maid behind her, and slipped away in a little embarrassed manner.

Li Yanqing laughed. This little girl was as interesting as before.

Cao Yun smiled and said, "She is thinking about you so she expects you to take her to buy bird food all day long."

"Bird food?" Li Yanqing was stunned, "She won't keep a cat?"

"My grandfather didn't allow her to raise it. She gave birth to too many cats. She hid in the flowers in the Cao Mansion all day long and cried. Grandfather couldn't bear it anymore, so he drove all the cats away. The little girl hid in the quilt and cried for three days. Grandfather felt guilty and gave her ten taels of silver. She originally agreed to her to buy another cat, but she bought more than a dozen birds and started raising birds from now on."

Li Yanqing laughed, "Okay! When will I have time, I will accompany her to buy bird food."

"Does she want to quarrel with you?"

"It's okay to knock it by chance!"

Seeing that her husband loved his sister, Cao Yun felt happy and was moved without realizing it. He hugged his neck and whispered: "I want you to hold someone to sleep tonight!"

Li Yanqing looked at his wife's big belly in embarrassment and muttered, "How can I hug this?"

"I don't care!" Cao Yun said coquettishly: "You hug me from behind and sleep!"

That night, Cao Yun slept particularly sweetly in her husband's arms, but Li Yanqing hadn't slept for almost a night. He had been thinking about the matter of Master Zhong. Master Zhong treats him well. This time he regarded his own descendants as his own, and he was killed. With Master Zhong Huoli's character, he would definitely be thrust into his head and blood. In the end, the enemy's finger could not move, leaving only regrets.

I have to persuade him well. A gentleman will take revenge. It will not be too late for ten years. I cannot be anxious for this moment...

Li Yanqing was thinking randomly until the fifth hour that he fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, Cao Yun took the Cao family's carriage back to his home. This is also what her husband means. Although her parents' home is good, don't neglect Sisi and Qing'er.

After Li Yanqing finished breakfast in Cao's mansion, he came to the front hall to report to Mr. Cao about the situation of the Northern Expedition. He did not mention anything about Mr. Zong's son. If Cao Sheng helps him share his worries, there is no need to worry the old man anymore.

"You're right!" Cao Ping nodded and said, "The wolf in Jin died unexpectedly. The funeral alone will be busy for a year. The new wolf in charge must stabilize the overall situation and control power. After this, we will not invade Song for at least three to five years. We do have time to prepare for the war."

But Cao Ping is more concerned about the next step of his grandson-in-law, and he asked again: "You want any position in the next step, are you planning on it?"

This is indeed something that Li Yanqing wanted to talk to Cao Ping. He pondered for a moment and said, "I still want to work in a place, it's best to go to Taiyuan Prefecture."

Li Yanqing carefully considered his future. It would take three or five years for the court to gain a foothold alone, and he could control the situation in the local area for up to three or five months. In the court, the fourth rank was just a small official, and there were at least a few hundred officials above the fourth rank. Whether it was real or false, he could suppress him by relying on his qualifications. It was almost impossible for him to do something. Instead of being intrigue in the officialdom all day, it would be better to go to the local area to do something practical.

More importantly, Wanyan Aguda died unexpectedly in Yanjing. It is impossible for this Qiu Jin Kingdom to fail to avenge him. He must prepare for the future and make some preparations as soon as possible.
